We haven't been on a family vacation in a long time. We will be "on the road" probably a good 10-12 days with our 21 year old son and teen daughters this July and we need ideas for affordable accomodation. We have friends scattered about but my husband wants this to be a vacation, with a capital V.
We cannot use our current vehicles because they are older and not reliable so we will be spending a little on a rental. We will be travelling down the East Coast (from Canada) to Florida across to Mississippi for a family reunion and then back up north through Tennessee and Ohio.
Does anybody have any creative ideas? I've checked the prices of motorhomes for rent (that's out of the question!). We can't really afford a camper rental either PLUS a van rental. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Check the rout your taking then look into campgrounds that are more or less on the way. Just take a tent and some sleeping bags and you can overnight at a campground with facilities for just dollars a night. Take a camp stove and some basic groceries to make dinner there and you'll save further. It's not luxurious but it's definitely economical.

Answer
Assuming you have a mini-van/SUV capable of holding six people... gas would be $50/day if you are driving, you are looking at around $300 for a ferry off the island (and back), food is around $200/day, hotels around $250/day (assuming two rooms), etc.
Something like camping would obviously be less expensive. Food is significantly less and you wouldn't need hotels. Picking someone on the island saves on the ferry. Something like Long Beach/Pacific Rim Park in Toffino or Rath Trevor in Parksville. As long as you have the tents, you would be looking at $200/day for a camp site and food. If you don't want to rough it, you can look at cabin/condo rentals in those areas. More around $300/day with food. You could also likely rent an RV or trailer.
Likely the least expensive holiday would run $2000 for the two weeks of camping. Add a few cabin/condo rentals and the price would likely be in the $3000 range. Hotels and a lot of driving, more in the $4000 range.
Note that things like fishing can get extremely expensive for six people rather quickly. A salmon fishing license is $13 (free for those under 16) and a boat charter for 6 people could easily run $300 a day.
